I once dated a girl named pandora and her box was most assuredly best left unopened...It's a place to regale in victory or defeat with your buds!
Not pandora's box.
They turned it on when they seen how good #4 made them (waiting for a Jerry Korab joke)Maybe the GBU's are bad luck. It seems like when we stopped caring around here they turned it on, now if we give them a little effort they might revert back to pumpkins.
agreed 100%This was one of Greenway's best game. I have no idea why Bakes was talking about moving him for probably a mid-level pick at the deadline. I rarely disagree with him, but I didn't get that take at all.
Has he entered the Vezina conversation?UPL is a monster
Certainly, if he keeps up this pace. He's climbed to 2.38 (tied 4th) while Bob and Hell have fallen to 2.32 and 2.33. Trending the right way but... one of Bob or Hell will definitely win it based on 48 wins vs UPL's current 22. The conversation becomes, how much of that is 'strong team defence vs a weak defensive team"? It's not an argument that's going to sway voters.Has he entered the Vezina conversation?
Let's say he keeps this play up to close out the season
Isn't the season over as soon as they lose a game?First, you can’t use words we don’t understand.
Second, this is hockey. If superstition as an idea came to life as a form, it’d be an ice rink.
If the Sabres win next game, the GBUs can stay. If they lose, they are banished for the remainder of the season.
Isn't the season over as soon as they lose a game?
Yeah, but I think many of us declared season over after almost every loss since december. The season will be over at least three more times until it's over then.Mathematically, no. I think they can probably lose 3 and still get in.
Greenway's a core guy in my book, and I want the world to know. Every time I watch this team he's driving possession, dominating the PK, throwing his body around, and he's someone other teams are probably iffy to mess with given his size.Pretty much everyone looked good (ok, maybe not Krebs; but Skinner looked a bit better than the last couple of games, as did JJP). This was one of Greenway's best game. I have no idea why Bakes was talking about moving him for probably a mid-level pick at the deadline. I rarely disagree with him, but I didn't get that take at all.

They didn't learn that lesson after last year?The Six Week Slumber Party (good YA book title, btw) certainly put them behind all the 8 balls. Realistically, getting in is a very tall task. Hopefully the team is learning, in or out of the playoffs, that they need to play like this all the time if they truly want to be successful. I have cautious hope next year's story is different.

Not an excuse. A design flaw.I wish they had, but apparently not. It's an excuse, but it's also relevant to say they're still the youngest team in the league.

Especially after that ill-advised challenge. Wtf was his reasoning there?G
Watching Roy's head explode...
No but it won't help. Almost every other team has more games in hand than we do. We are far from out of the woods.Isn't the season over as soon as they lose a game?
remember 2011 when that little goaltender Enroth miraculously backstopped us to our last playoff berth when we were well out of the picture in february? I do and it was glorious. I hope we can catch lightning in a bottle again.We only have 67 points, so winning the next 15 straight only gets us to 97. I think we'll need 93 or 94 to make it, so you can only really lose one or two games, which is nearly a miracle-on-ice level stuff.
